Costa Rica’s quarterback Scott Doherty (dual citizenship) on his team’s performance so far and prospects for the final:

“We have played well at times but have not put 4 solid quarters together. For us to beat Panama we will need to play good football from start to finish. Panama has been the most impressive team throughout the tournament with their combination of size and speed. They have not been tested so far and we hope to put them in some uncomfortable situations. We are definitely the underdogs but anything can happen when you execute a game plan.”
